I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Nokia (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2012
Interview
Very less interaction with HR !! Most of the interviews are technical and technical only. After the selection process, HR will contact for the hiring formalities and offer. But this would have been discussed with manager already. Then submit documents to verify and some interaction with attorneys for Visa process. Fairly easy and updated process. Before joining, do the drug test.
